Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed tech & telecom companies, in English.
A record first quarter for revenue did not stop a 43 percent drop in TBS Holdings' operating profit, and the broadcaster has now cut its full-year sales and profit forecast as advertisers hold back on TV spot buys amid Middle East-linked uncertainty.
NTT's operating revenue climbed 10.9% to a record ¥3.62tn in the quarter through June, but profit grew only about half as fast, and the group's untouched full-year forecast points to operating profit growth slowing to just 0.2% for the year to March 2027.
Digital Hearts' own chairman is using a new holding company to buy out public shareholders at ¥1,060 a share, and the board has already zeroed out next year's dividend to make the offer's math work.
JMDC's April-June profit rose 17% on faster-than-planned pharma demand for its health data, and the company broke its own rule against forecasting the first half, even as it keeps its full-year target unchanged.
The Tokyo-listed IT reseller and systems integrator now expects ¥94.3bn in operating profit for the year to December, a ¥4.3bn upgrade, after first-half sales beat its own internal plan by nearly ten percent and it lifted the interim dividend by ¥5 a share to ¥55.
Datasection has sued short seller Wolfpack Research in a Pennsylvania federal court, seeking retraction of a report that accused its AI infrastructure GPU purchases of breaking U.S. export-control law; the company says its lawyers cleared the projects, and the damages claim remains unquantified.
Otsuka lifted its full-year sales target to ¥1.38tn and raised its annual dividend to ¥105 per share, citing steady enterprise demand for AI, security and productivity software even as management flagged Middle East and US trade risks.
Nomura Research Institute's quarterly operating profit rose 12% to ¥41.7bn, but the board also burned through nearly all of a ¥70bn buyback and cancelled 20 million shares, cutting the share count by more than 3% in ten weeks.
Keywest Network, the buyout vehicle run by Future Corporation's own chairman, is offering ¥2,451 per share and will cancel the year-end dividend once enough shareholders tender, part of a plan to delist the Tokyo IT consultant.
FreeBit says a special committee probing its 2025 CountUp acquisition may not wrap up in time for the company to get its audit report and file by the July 31 statutory deadline, so it is weighing an extension request to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau.
Capcom's operating profit rose 66.9% in the April-June quarter as new sci-fi title Pragmata topped 2.5 million copies sold and a six-year-old Devil May Cry 5 crossed 14 million units on a fresh Switch 2 port, while full-year guidance stayed unchanged at ¥210.0bn in sales.
Sakura Internet's board approved a ¥26.0bn purchase of NVIDIA Rubin-generation GPU racks, funded mostly by bank loans, to meet enterprise, research and public-sector demand for domestic AI compute; the earnings hit is still under review.
RACCOON Holdings posted an 18.7% return on equity against an assumed 8% cost of capital, yet its market value has fallen 82% since 2021, prompting the Tokyo Prime-listed group to rewrite how it explains itself to investors.
Oracle Corporation Japan will hand shareholders ¥110.08bn for the year ended May 2026, more than the ¥24.4bn it paid a year earlier, after layering a ¥660 special dividend onto its ordinary payout.
A ¥858mn deal hands Scala control of an unlisted Kamakura software firm whose point-of-sale system runs in about 2,500 mobile-carrier shops, with the AI group betting the real prize is decades of store-operating data, not the software itself.
A ¥660 special dividend takes ORACLE CORPORATION JAPAN's year-end payout to ¥110.08bn, versus ¥24.38bn a year earlier, with payment starting August 10, 2026.
OBIC's quarterly net profit rose 16.3% on stronger ERP and cloud demand, but a swing in unrealized securities valuations cut comprehensive income by more than three-quarters, and the software vendor left its full-year guidance untouched anyway.
Net profit at Japan's ERP bellwether OBIC rose 16.3% to ¥22.7bn in the June quarter, with its cloud-based system-support business growing faster than the core ERP software it sells directly to large and mid-sized firms, even as the company flags growing caution among corporate buyers.
Japan's communications ministry and privacy watchdog accepted LY Corporation's final report on fixes to its 2023 data breach, closing off a compliance obligation that outlasted the original disclosure by nearly three years, though the one-page filing says nothing about what the regulators actually checked.
Tripleize is exiting the GPU server business it runs through subsidiary Zerofield and has withdrawn its full-year profit forecast until a sale price and closing timeline are set, even as its core AI Solutions unit posts record nine-month profit.
Finland's Verda Cloud has put down $5 million for exclusive rights to negotiate a lease over the entire 10MW first phase of Kankyo Friendly's Tomakomai AI data center, with a final contract due within roughly six weeks and an estimated ¥2.4bn to ¥2.5bn in annual fees if it closes.
The Tokyo-registered issuer is pulling ¥35bn of two-year, ¥55bn of five-year and ¥30bn of ten-year unsecured bonds from a ¥500bn debt program that had ¥350bn of headroom left before this filing.
CAC Holdings admitted nearly four months late that it had signed a ¥5bn, unsecured, ten-year syndicated loan arranged by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation to fund acquisitions, a facility now bound by covenants on net assets and consecutive losses through 2036.
V-cube's board is repaying ¥1.1bn in borrowings through a placement of 24 Class V preferred shares to AVA3 HD Co., Ltd., but the shares vote on every matter at general meetings just like ordinary stock, giving the buyer a governance foothold beyond the size of the deal.
